Aug 12, 2016Overall, this is undeniable rap therapy. Like the rest of us, Slug and Ant are just trying to get by, and for the most part, they’re succeeding.
-
Aug 12, 2016Between Ant's eclectic, subtle production and Slug's equally nuanced lyricism, Fishing Blues stands out as one of the best hip-hop LPs of the year thus far.
-
Aug 12, 2016Along with Ant’s confident production work, there’s a sense Slug is finally comfortable with the man he’s become, what he’s accomplished and where he’s going.

Aug 12, 2016Fishing Blues isn't so much an indie version of The Heist as it is a more satisfied and slow version of Southsiders. Check that one first, then come back here for a relaxed alternative.
-
Aug 26, 2016Fishing Blues may not be your bag due to its pacing and down-trodden tempo but in between the suburban man bars should lay some appreciation for storytelling.
-
Aug 18, 2016Fishing Blues’ saving grace, the only song with any real passion and continuity, is one about police brutality written from the perspective of the officer.
-
Aug 12, 2016The new Fishing Blues feels so rote you’ll have to play the old records to remember that it’s not the Atmosphere norm.
